The second image is correct.

Also don't forget to change the drive ID to 0, which IIRC is the purpose of the SW3 switch.

I wrote some stuff on this years ago, here (http://amiga.serveftp.net/FloppyConversion.html).

Must have been too useless/ or lazy at the time to take pictures.  Or probably didn't have a camera?

There's a few other tricks you can do if the drive is not detected, though that usually indicates the DriveSelect0 and/or Ready lines are not connected correctly, or you don't have the drive set up correctly to respond as unit 0.

Email me if you need some more details, I can probably remember a few things.
